Police Make Appeal To People Who Knew Richard Wallace
Wellington Police are appealing to the friends and
acquaintances of Richard
Wallace to contact them as
they establish his movements in the week prior
to
his death.
Mr Wallace, 70, was found dead
in his Strathmore Park home on the morning
of
Thursday 22 July.
"Mr Wallace did have
injuries and we are working to understand when and
how
these occurred. Because of this, his death is
still being treated as
unexplained at this time,"
says Detective Inspector Darrell Harpur.
“It is
important we provide his family with answers and so we are
asking
those who knew him to provide us with
details about his movements between
Monday 19 July
and Thursday 22 July."
The investigation team has
determined Mr Wallace travelled with another
person
to the Strathmore Park and Miramar shops on Monday evening
before
returning home sometime after 7pm when he
then entertained friends.
“If you visited Mr Wallace
that Monday evening, or in the day’s after,
we
are very keen to talk with you," says Detective
Inspector Harpur.
